My Xbox is unmodded. What's the point? I actually played most of the games I wanted for the NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, etc. and I'll buy any Xbox game I want with trade credit. Even 50 bucks to mod the system is 50 I wouldn't have for 4 or 5 games down the road.

You try way too hard. Relax and let the titles flow naturally and this is on the first page.

That punishment is a bit extreme... UNTIL YOU READ THAT HE WAS SELLING THEM with games preloaded on the hard drive

All 11? OMG ALL 20 MILLION USERS MUST CHIP THEIR XBOXEN.

yeah he wasnt arrested for modding his Xbox, he was arrested for modding Xbox's with Xbox games preloaded on the hard-drive. There is a difference. I doubt MS would go after someone who had a modded Xbox in their house for personal use. Yeah, Im sure they arent happy about it, but shutting down the people that do it is a bigger deal.

Plus, I would imagine 90-95% of Xboxs are unmodded.
